http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/leaveiraq/ I am an ex-Marine and recently got out of the military. I truly believe that we made a mistake invading Iraq. Yes, we did a great thing by ousting Saddam, but the fact is that we've only shown that we are rather incompetant by our failing occupation of that country. We've lost more Americans since the fighting stopped. The Iraqis do not want us there, so let's just leave the savages to their own devices, or at least hand the reins over to the U.N. and bring out people home. Why should they, many of whom are my friends, sacrifice their lives any longer for a country that doesn't even want our help? Admit you made a mistake Mr. Bush and bring our people home. And for those of you who may be thinking that I'm saying we should abandon the country to a Taliban/Al Queda rule, you need to read the above paragraph again. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that these people do not want us there and will continue to kill more and more Americans just to prove their point. I think it would just be better to hands the reins of the rebuilding to the U.N. I'm sure that the needless killings will not cease. Look, we went into this thing with the right intentions, but the plan was not properly thought out and now American soldiers, and, like I said, several of my friends, have paid the price for this administration's lack of foresight and stubborn attitude towards accepting help with their lives. If you don't like what I'm saying here, I apologize, but I won't change my opinion. And attacks against my opinion and intellect (and you know who you are) or that of any other person on this site are completely unwarranted and against the spirit of the site.

If someone is willing to give their life for your freedom, don\'t you think you should be very, very, very careful when you ask them to do so? I am ashamed of my country for doing this to our honorable military women and men. I thank our soldiers for being willing to give their lives for me, someone they have never met, but now I ask that you not risk your lives for me for one more minute. Please refuse to fight. If you would all do so, we would move in to a very different world. Again, I appreciate your willingness to sacrifice yourself for my freedom, but I ask that you do not do so. I will fight for my own freedom if need be.
